eng	Learning English in the shadows: Czech learners’ experience of private tutoring	The individualistic nature of learning nowadays, coupled with the global spread of English, has contributed to the rise of shadow education in English. The presentation focuses on one of its forms, one-on-one private tutoring in English; more specifically, it explores this privately purchased service through the eyes of its recipients, learners of English. The presentation aims to introduce the results of the qualitative analysis of twenty narrative interviews in order to uncover the nature of the private tutoring in English that the learners experienced and the perceived role of this type of education in their lives.	shadow education; private tutoring; English; Czech learners
